Fastbirds. Just felt them, never tried. But used Rhino XL. The good thing with Fastbirds is that the thread are much wider than Rhino where you only have threads in the middle. Should be better for cornering, roots and more.

Dugast also makes tyres with a 3rd party thread on it. If you're really in doubt and know what tyres suit your riding the best I suggest giving them a call.

Yes, they do, but there could be a significant weight penalty. According to a Bike Mag test a while ago, they just cut off the sidewalls of the tires the customer supplies. What you end up with is an extra layer of casing. That layer is not there if you use Dugast's own tread, which is produced for the purpose.

I actually like the dugast thread. It's just that I don't know which one to use. There isn't really a problem with me since I'm a 100lbs/45kg and, I'm a pretty small rider. So, thin tires wouldn't be a problem.

+1. I love all of my Dugast tires, but this isn't a road/track/'cross application. I had received my tubular MTB wheels from Tufo pre-glued with (of course) Tufo tires. I was not expecting to like them as much as I do, but they are fast and durable. What more do you want in an MTB tire?
